Welcome to From the Newsroom, the section dedicated to answering your questions about the Missourian. Our goal is to be transparent about our practices and processes and to invite our readers behind the scenes of what we do. Suggest topics you'd like to see explained by contacting Joy Mayer at email@example.com or 882-8182.
*The School of Journalism dean serves as the Missourian's publisher. An earlier version of this article misstated his role.
The Columbia Missourian has an unusual relationship with MU that is unlike those at other campus-affiliated news organizations.
The Missourian's first edition published Sept. 14, 1908, the same day classes began at the Missouri School of Journalism. Walter Williams created the Missourian so the newspaper could serve as a laboratory for students pursuing careers in journalism. For more than 100 years, the Missourian has fulfilled Williams' mission by allowing students to create community-based newspaper content under supervision of faculty editors. This real-world media experience is part of the Journalism School's "Missouri Method," in which students learn their craft while working for community-focused news organizations, under the supervision of professional journalists, with built in assessment, analysis and improvement.
This hands-on laboratory receives financial assistance from MU.
The Missourian is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit incorporated as the Missourian Publishing Association. The association's board of directors, made up of media industry professionals, advises the School of Journalism dean, who serves as the Missourian's publisher. The board also advises the Missourian's general manager and executive editor. According to the Missourian Publishing Association's most recent 990 tax form, "The Missourian Publishing Association Inc. is operated as a learning laboratory for the University of Missouri's School of Journalism." The Missourian is not owned by MU but is an agency of MU, which means it must follow university regulations.
Since 1997, the Missourian has received a laboratory fee from MU in recognition of its importance to the campus as a teaching and research tool, similar to support provided to teaching labs in other fields.
The Missourian's paid staff members and faculty receive their paychecks from MU. Students who are taking staff classes through the School of Journalism are not paid for their work at the Missourian.
Missourian journalists are expected to report on the university as they would with any other business or organization, without special treatment or fear of retribution. The Missourian's executive editor has tenure status as a professor, which underscores his editorial independence.
Supervising editor is Joy Mayer.

Should William And Catherine Give Their Kid A Weird Name?
By Mack Rawden 2 years ago
After weeks of rumors, Kate Middleton announced earlier today that shes expecting her first child. The big reveal likely would have waited longer, but thanks to hyperemesis gravidarum, or acute morning system, she had to be hospitalized. The condition isnt expected to have any long-term effect on either her health or the health of the unborn child, and fortunately, it did very little to quell the excitement of an enthusiastic British public eager to see the royal bloodline continued.
The House of Windsor has a long and luxurious history of giving children standard, classic names like Charles and Harry. More than likely, William and Catherine will choose to continue that tradition and name their son/ daughter something like Edward or Mary, but until the birth certificate is officially signed, theres always the possibility they break out of the mold and bring a little flair to the royal family. Of course, there are many who argue since the House of Windsor represents the British people, the family is right to select generic names everyone can get behind. William might not exactly be exciting, but its clearly far better than something like Apple, and it does have a certain distinguished aura about it. What do you think they should do? Should they go with a pretty standard, classic moniker, or should they break out and be a little more original? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll below
What Should They Do About A Name?

How divided are the experts on the near-term prospects for China's economy? If an attempt by Credit Suisse analyts to predict China's appetite for commodities is any indication, the answer is very.
On March 5, Credit Suisse's "Economics Research" group boldly forecast "China's super-cycle for commodities is behind us." Why? China's economy is likely to grow more slowly over the coming years, Credit Suisse said, and would rely less on infrastructure spending. That meant that demand for commodities wouldn't match the super-crazy growth rates of the past.
Well, that forecast appears to have been too bold for others at the Swiss bank.
On Monday, Credit Suisse put out another "super-cycle" paper, this time attributed to the "Securities Research & Analytics" group. That report made clear that Credit Suisse wasn't clear about whether the cycle was over or not.
According to the new paper, Credit Suisse's "China Economics Team" believed that that the China's commodity- demand super-cycle was history. But other parts of the company's research group didn't agree.
The company's "China Basic Materials Team" would only say that 2012 could be a "difficult year for Chinese commodity demand" because of such "cyclical" factors as the effect of a slowdown in China's property market on related sectors, including cement and copper.
And the company's "Global Commodities Research Team" had a third take on the issue. Any slowdown in demand would be gradual, "not a step change," the group said. "We believe that the super-cycle has further to run."
So now Credit Suisse has provided three different answers to how sharply commodity demand in China will slow.
"The Credit Suisse Securities Research department has had a healthy debate about the outlook," the report said. "We hope to provide clients with a useful resource to assist with their assessment of the various points of view."
Punt from Credit Suisse to Credit Suisse clients.

Citywide Unity march planned Saturday
Ray Martinez believes the only way to solve the city's problems is for the community to come together.
"I am a man of God and I had gotten a vision on my heart," Martinez said. "It's time that not just one faction of our community, but everybody come together."
Martinez and his church, Star of David Ministries, are planning a march and rally Saturday dubbed "Unity in the Community." The six-mile march will begin at 9 a.m. at the intersection of Ward Road and Pacheco Boulevard. It will be broken into three two-mile sections and conclude at noon at the Los Banos Community Center, where there will be guest speakers, a raffle, children's activities and food. The public is invited.
Martinez said making the community better will take local government, business owners and churches working with one another to solve issues like homelessness and gang violence.
He said after the event he wants to establish a small group that will brainstorm solutions to many of the city's problems.
"We have an awesome city, we just want to make it better. Our focus isn't going to be to beat down the programs already in place, our focus is going to be to make them better," he said.
Martinez said residents have told him they want less gang activity and more entertainment venues for children in town.
He's hoping 300 people turn out, and that churches and business leaders get involved, too.
"Unity in the Community" is not unique in Merced County, said the seven-year Los Banos resident. He said similar celebrations have occurred in Livingston and Merced.
"It's happening all over, not just in our community," he said. "There's power and beautifulness when you can get people coming together."
Join the Discussion
Merced Sun-Star is pleased to provide this opportunity to share information, experiences and observations about what's in the news. Some of the comments may be reprinted elsewhere on the site or in the newspaper. We encourage lively, open debate on the issues of the day, and ask that you refrain from profanity, hate speech, personal comments and remarks that are off point. Thank you for taking the time to offer your thoughts.

Insights into the dependent-scattering contributions to the extinction coefficient in highly scattering suspensions |
JOSA A, Vol. 30, Issue 7, pp. 1328-1334 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (847 KB)
We study theoretically the extinction of collimated light in random systems of highly scattering particles embedded in nonabsorbing media. We aim to provide rough guidelines on the behavior of the extinction coefficient in the so-called dependent-scattering regime. We base our analysis on Keller's second order perturbative approximation to the effective propagation constant. To gain physical insight, we also analyze a simple model based on the physical notion that particles in a dense system scatter light in an effective medium.

A colloidal route to fabricate hierarchical sticky and non-sticky substrates
Raza, M.A. and Kooij, E.S. and Zandvliet, H.J.W. and Poelsema, B. (2012) A colloidal route to fabricate hierarchical sticky and non-sticky substrates. Journal of colloid and interface science, 385 (1). 73 - 80. ISSN 0021-9797
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 1MB |
Abstract: | We present a facile and inexpensive bottom-up colloidal route to prepare sticky superhydrophobic surfaces and non-sticky ones. Either spin coating to assemble silica microspheres into random multilayered arrays or irreversible adsorption of gold nanoparticles is used to manufacture substrates with a single length scale roughness. Hierarchical roughness with multiple length scales is achieved by decorating the silica spheres with gold nanoparticles. The surface chemistry of the silica surfaces is modified by the adsorption of fluoroalkylsilane self-assembled monolayers, while gold nanoparticles are hydrophobized by dodecanethiol. The wetting properties, both static and dynamic, of surfaces in relation to the morphology of the substrates are addressed. We demonstrate the role of hierarchy in the roughness in converting a sticky into a non-sticky superhydrophobic surface and discuss the results in terms of existing models describing wetting characteristics.

cant access Ovi store or click "create message" after updating firmware of Nokia c3
I'm using nokia c3 and I've updated my firmware to 8 63, I can't click "Create message" and I can't access Ovi Store (conflicting applications) because I have an updated version of store in collections. PS: I've already reseted factory settings and I've tried with Nokia updater software. Any advice ? |

And if you already done with it than better get it fixed by any technical guy or Nokia Care, resetting is not gonna fix this problem. |

Thanks for your response Nachman. I meant that I first I updated my soft with my phone, not usb or other ways and it didn't worked, so I tried to update it with USB cable using Nokia Software Updater and it kept telling me that the USB is removed and to remove battery, to restart the phone etc (I did all of these, and then it was telling me the same 2 messages). Then I went to a service with my phone and it was full repaired. I guess some files of the new update (the update I did by myself) weren't copied correctly so this is why I couldn't press Create Message and other stuff. Even though, the man who repaired it had some black device that had more power than the USB for connecting (I guess this is what it was for). Anyway thanks again for your response and if somebody reads that before updating the firmware for C3, i advice you to not update it. Personally I wanted an update because I thought there were new features like appearance or others, but not. The only thing I REALLY like about update is that when I remove the card where I have my whatsapp stored it stops running, and when I connect the memory card again it won't run if I don't press it. So I found a way to exit my whatsapp. |

Re: cant access Ovi store or click "create message" after updating firmware of Nokia c3
Oh wow, thanks for letting us know how to exit whatsapp in nokia mobile phone, by simply installing it in memory card and then if we dont want to use whatsapp we have to remove the memory card and whatsapp terminates, nice. For the nokia firmware update, i think that you have a problem with the usb cable, it might be loosing the connection of the mobile phone and hence it might be asking to reconnect it, but since you have already solved your problem, I hope you look into this matter for future fix as well. |

Procedures The Directors are responsible for maintaining and reviewing the effectiveness of risk management and internal control systems and for determining the nature and extent of the significant risks it is willing to take in achieving its strategic objectives. To meet this requirement and to discharge its obligations under the FCA Handbook and PRA Handbook, procedures have been designed for safeguarding assets against unauthorised use or disposal; for maintaining proper accounting records; and for ensuring the reliability and usefulness of financial information used within the business or for publication. These procedures can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material mis-statement, errors, losses or fraud. These procedures are designed to provide effective internal control within HSBC and accord with the Financial Reporting Council's guidance for directors issued in its revised form in 2005. HSBC's procedures have been in place throughout the year and up to 23 February 2015, the date of approval of the Annual Report and Accounts 2014. This guidance was amended following consultations undertaken by the Financial Reporting Council in November 2013 and April 2014, resulting in revised guidance on risk management, internal control and related financial and business reporting. The revised guidance applies to companies with financial years beginning on or after 1 October 2014. In the case of companies acquired during the year, the risk management and internal controls in place are being reviewed against HSBC's benchmarks and integrated into HSBC's processes. In 2014 the GAC and GRC endorsed the adoption of the COSO 2013 framework for the monitoring of risk management and internal control systems to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the UK Corporate Governance Code and the Hong Kong Corporate Governance Code. Full implementation of the COSO 2013 framework will be completed in 2015. HSBC continued to evaluate its internal control over financial reporting under the Financial Reporting Council's Internal Control Revised Guidance for Directors and the original 1992 Framework for the year ended 31 December 2014. HSBC's key risk management and internal control procedures include the following: Group Standards. Functional, operating, financial reporting and certain management reporting standards are established by global function management committees, for application throughout HSBC. These are supplemented by operating standards set by functional and local management as required for the type of business and geographical location of each subsidiary. Delegation of authority within limits set by the Board. Authority is delegated within limits set by the Board to each relevant Group Managing Director to manage the day to day affairs of the business or function for which he or she is accountable. Delegation of authority from the Board requires those individuals to maintain a clear and appropriate apportionment of significant responsibilities and to oversee the establishment and maintenance of systems of control that are appropriate to their business or function. Appointments to the most senior positions within HSBC require the approval of the Board. Risk identification and monitoring. Systems and procedures are in place to identify, control and report on the major risks facing HSBC including credit, market, liquidity and funding, capital, financial management, model, reputational, pension, strategic, sustainability, operational (including accounting, tax, legal, regulatory compliance, financial crime compliance, fiduciary, security and fraud, systems operations, project and people risk) and insurance risk. Exposure to these risks is monitored by risk management committees, asset, liability and capital management committees and executive committees in subsidiaries and, for the Group, in Risk Management Meetings ('RMM') of the GMB which are chaired by the Group Chief Risk Officer. RMM meets regularly to discuss enterprise-wide risk management issues. Asset, liability and capital management issues are monitored by the Group ALCO, which also reports to the RMM. HSBC's operational risk profile and the effective implementation of the Group's operational risk management framework are monitored by the Global Operational Risk Committee ('GORC'), which reports to the RMM. Model risks are monitored by the Model Oversight Committee which also reports to the RMM. The minutes of the GMB meetings and the RMM are provided to members of the GAC, the GRC and the Board. Changes in market conditions/practices. Processes are in place to identify new risks arising from changes in market conditions/practices or customer behaviours, which could expose HSBC to heightened risk of loss or reputational damage. During 2014, attention was focused on: – economic outlook and government intervention; – increased geopolitical risk; – regulatory developments affecting our business model and Group profitability; – regulatory investigations, fines, sanctions commitments and consent orders and requirements relating to conduct of business and financial crime negatively affecting our results and brand; – dispute risk; – heightened execution risk; – people risk; – third party risk management; – internet crime and fraud; – information security risk; – data management; and – model risk. Strategic plans. Periodic strategic plans are prepared for global businesses, global functions and certain geographical regions within the framework of the Group's strategy. Annual Operating Plans, informed by detailed analysis of risk appetite describing the types and quantum of risk that we are prepared to take in executing our strategy, are prepared and adopted by all major HSBC operating companies and set out the key business initiatives and the likely financial effects of those initiatives. Disclosure Committee. The Disclosure Committee reviews material public disclosures made by HSBC Holdings for any material errors, misstatements or omissions. The membership of the Disclosure Committee, which is chaired by the Group Company Secretary, includes the heads of Global Finance, Legal, Risk (including Financial Crime Compliance and Regulatory Compliance), Communications, Investor Relations, and Internal Audit functions and representatives from the principal regions and global businesses. The integrity of disclosures is underpinned by structures and processes within the Global Finance and Global Risk functions that support expert and rigorous analytical review of financial reporting complemented by certified reviews by heads of global businesses, global functions and certain legal entities. Financial reporting. The Group financial reporting process for preparing the consolidated Annual Report and Accounts 2014 is controlled using documented accounting policies and reporting formats, supported by a chart of accounts with detailed instructions and guidance on reporting requirements, issued by Group Finance to all reporting entities within the Group in advance of each reporting period end. The submission of financial information from each reporting entity to Group Finance is subject to certification by the responsible financial officer, and analytical review procedures at reporting entity and Group levels. Responsibility for risk management. Management of global businesses and global functions are primarily accountable for measuring, monitoring, mitigating and managing their risks and controls. Processes are in place to ensure weaknesses are escalated to senior management and addressed, supported by our three lines of defence model. IT operations. Centralised functional control is exercised over all IT developments and operations. Common systems are employed for similar business processes wherever practicable. Functional management. Global functional management is responsible for setting policies, procedures and standards for the following risks: credit, market, liquidity and funding, capital, financial management, model, reputational, pension, strategic, sustainability and operational risk (including accounting, tax, legal, financial crime compliance, regulatory compliance, fiduciary, information security, security and fraud, systems and people risk) and insurance risk. Authorities to enter into credit and market risk exposures are delegated with limits to line management of Group companies. The concurrence of the appropriate global function is required, however, to credit proposals with specified higher risk characteristics. Credit and market risks are measured and reported at subsidiary company level and aggregated for risk concentration analysis on a Group-wide basis. Internal Audit. The establishment and maintenance of appropriate systems of risk management and internal control is primarily the responsibility of business management. The Global Internal Audit function, which is centrally controlled, provides independent and objective assurance in respect of the adequacy of the design and operating effectiveness of the Group's framework of risk management, control and governance processes across the Group, focusing on the areas of greatest risk to HSBC using a risk-based approach. The Group Head of Internal Audit reports to the Chairman of the GAC and administratively to the Group Chief Executive. Internal Audit recommendations. Executive management is responsible for ensuring that recommendations made by the Global Internal Audit function are implemented within an appropriate and agreed timetable. Confirmation to this effect must be provided to Global Internal Audit Reputational risk. Policies to guide subsidiary companies and management at all levels in the conduct of business to safeguard the Group's reputation are established by the Board and its committees, subsidiary company boards and their committees and senior management. Reputational risks can arise from a variety of causes including environmental, social and governance issues, as a consequence of operational risk events and as a result of employees acting in a manner inconsistent with HSBC Values. HSBC's reputation depends upon the way in which it conducts its business and may be affected by the way in which clients, to which it provides financial services, conduct their business or use financial products and services. Role of GAC and GRC On behalf of the Board, the GAC has responsibility for oversight of risk management and internal controls over financial reporting and the GRC has responsibility for oversight of risk management and internal controls, other than over financial reporting. During the year, the GRC and the GAC have kept under review the effectiveness of this system of internal control and have reported regularly to the Board. In carrying out their reviews, the GRC and the GAC receive regular business and operational risk assessments, regular reports from the Group Chief Risk Officer and the Group Head of Internal Audit; reports on the annual reviews of the internal control framework of HSBC Holdings which cover all internal controls, both financial and non-financial; half yearly-confirmations to the GAC from audit and risk committees of principal subsidiary companies regarding whether their financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Group policies, present fairly the state of affairs of the relevant principal subsidiary, are prepared on a going concern basis; and confirm if there have been any material losses, contingencies or uncertainties caused by weaknesses in internal controls; internal audit reports; external audit reports; prudential reviews; and regulatory reports. The GRC monitors the status of top and emerging risks and considers whether the mitigating actions put in place are appropriate. In addition, when unexpected losses have arisen or when incidents have occurred which indicate gaps in the control framework or in adherence to Group policies, the GRC and the GAC review special reports, prepared at the instigation of management, which analyse the cause of the issue, the lessons learned and the actions proposed by management to address the issue. Effectiveness of internal controls The Directors, through the GRC and the GAC, have conducted an annual review of the effectiveness of our system of risk management and internal control covering all material controls, including financial, operational and compliance controls, risk management systems, the adequacy of resources, qualifications and experience of staff of the accounting and financial reporting function and the risk function, and their training programmes and budget. The review does not extend to joint ventures or associates. The annual review of the effectiveness of our system of risk management and internal control was conducted with reference to COSO principles functioning as evidenced by specified entity level controls. A report on the effectiveness of each entity level control and regular risk and control reporting was escalated to the GRC and GAC from certain key management committees. The GRC and the GAC have received confirmation that executive management has taken or is taking the necessary actions to remedy any failings or weaknesses identified through the operation of our framework of controls.

ChemCraft Senior Atomic Energy Chemistry Lab Kit - One for the Guys!
I want this!!
My apologies to my male viewers who may have hit the back button in terror as they checked out my ultra-fem pink room in my last post. I am acutely aware how things like pink frilly fru-fru stuff can make grown men break out in a cold sweat lol...
Now I grew up with two older brothers (and NO, I was NOT spoiled in any way, shape or form, in fact, they used to beat me up lol). So it makes sense that I thought a lot of the "boy toys" were pretty cool too. I wasn't a "tom boy", but hey, airplane models and chemistry kits and such were, well, cool!
It's my understanding that this 1950's ChemCraft Senior Atomic Enegry Chemistry Lab Kit is like the holy grail of chem lab kits, and it looks to be in about as pristine condition as one can find (save for what looks like one missing implement or tool).
Upon closer inspection, I think the "missing" place is where one of the booklets goes, so this seems to be a complete kit!!
Makes me want to create atomic energy!!!
I've been watching this auction with some interest, because somewhere I read that these can go for thousands of dollars in good shape. Well, with the economy and all, this one might be a "deal".
I do think this is very, very neat. If it were more affordable, or if I were big on collecting chemical kits, I'd be snapping this one up.
Currently at $293.00 as of this post, I wonder where it will end tomorrow?
Find auction HERE.
If one of my blogger friends buys this, let us know!
Auction ended at a mere $316!! Sounds like a deal to me!!!

I'm ready to put my lab coat on! I want to make atomic energy too!! Great find!
ReplyDelete Wow! You always seem to find the neatest stuff!
Thank you so very much for your lovely comment on my art blog. I will post some photos of it when its not a bunch of boxes piled in the middle... Oh and its a pretty lavender color since it was what my daughter picked out before she decided to have a bedroom downstairs! I would love to see photos of your art studio! All the best. SherryYou're welcome Sherry! =D Would love to see it, it's so exciting to have your own creative space!
My brother also had the electronics kit!
I got an Easy Bake oven lol grrr
Nah, my one brother and I used to make those rubber "Creepy Crawlers" I think they were called, and sold them at the Swap Meet back when Dad would go every weekend to sell.
So I did a lot of the "boy stuff" too. =)- AnonymousJuly 24, 2011 at 6:32 PM
Found one of these in an antique store in Denton, TX yesterday in poor but complete shape. Even had the uranium ore vial WITH ore in it!

Comparing the pH
Levels of Lakes and Streams
We tested whether the pH concentration of rivers to lakes in Southeastern Wisconsin. We tested the pH of eight different lakes and eight different streams. Our data results showed that rivers had a higher pH level with an average of 7.5 compared to lakes in which the average pH level was 6 (p-value = 0.025).
The pH is the measurement of the hydrogen ion concentration in the water. The pH scale ranges from 1 to 14 and having a pH balance of 7 would be considered neutral. If the pH level ranges from 1 to 6, the water would be acidic and having a pH level of 8 to 14 means that the water would be basic. The concentration of hydrogen ion increases when acidic chemical compounds like (H2SO4) are added to the water because acidic compounds release hydrogen ions. The pH level decreases when basic compounds are added to the water such as NaOH. It can take hydrogen ions away from the water, therefore making the water more basic (Sharpe, 2003).
The pH balance is important because it helps to maintain aquatic ecological conditions of the water. Lower pH levels can disturbs the fish physiological system and therefore can increase the mortality rate of the fish population (Moiseenko, Sharova, 2006).
The purpose of our experiment was designed to see if there was a difference in pH levels between lakes and streams. To test this, we visited eight different lakes and eight different streams and measured their pH levels. We used pH indicator strips to measure the pH levels. We hypothesized that the pH levels of the rivers will be higher due to the streams having a constant flow, it allows the water to get replenished and rocks like limestone rocks can neutralize the acid in water. If the lakes have a higher pH level, then our hypothesis would not be supported.
Materials and Methods
We tested the pH
level of lakes and streams around 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. in
We tested the pH levels on lakes and streams on October 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th, 2008. At each site, we used a small disposable cup (Dixie) to obtain the water sample. We then used the pH strips to test the sample water and waited for 30 seconds. Once the strip changed color, we matched the color of the strip with the color indicator chart provided with the kit. At each location, we tested a total of four samples. Each sample was haphazardly taken 10 meters away from each other. Once we had a pH, we recorded our data in a chart. For all other locations, the same steps were repeated. After that we gathered all the data and calculated an average for each location. We then calculated the average for all the lakes and the average for all the streams. We then used Microsoft© Excel to evaluate and graph our data. We performed a statistical t-test (1-tailed, type 2) to get our p-value.
From our results, there was a significant difference in pH levels between the lakes and rivers. Our results show that the lake had a lower pH level compared to the pH level of rivers (Fig. 1, P-value = 0.025476367). Our results show that the average lake pH level (6.17) (table 1) was lower than our average pH level (7.54) of streams (see table 2).

Figure 1. The average pH of Lakes and Streams
Our results show that our hypothesis was supported; pH levels of the streams were higher than the pH levels of the lakes. A reason why this might be is due to rain because rain is acidic. Since lakes don't have much movement, there are not many places for the acidic water to go. Streams on the other hand, tend to have a constant flow and because of this, the hydrogen ions can flow away (Beamish, 1972). Streams may be an outlet for lakes or it may come from precipitation (Sharpe, 2003). Also, if there limestone rocks are present in rivers, it could help to neutralize the acidity of the water making the pH level higher (Sharpe, 2003).
The low pH level is a big concern for the survival of aquatic species. A recent study was done on aquatic species to see if the environment affected their immune system. The changing pH levels are a very important factor in freshwater species as compared to seawater species. Since sea water has a buffering capacity to resist the pH changes in the water, but fresh water species do not have that much of buffering capacity. The change in pH level of freshwater body system affects the aquatic species. The results of the study showed evidence that pH clearly changed the lysosome function of salmon (Bowden, 2008).
The other factor
that could have influenced our results could be that because we all did our own
separate testing of locations, we may have different viewpoints on the pH strip
colors and how to determine the pH. In the future if we were to do this
experiment, we may opt to do it all together so we can all agree on the pH
value. We would also test nitrogen
levels and temperature to see if these factor correlate or influence with pH

The April 14, 1995, earthquake in western Texas (M_w 5.7) produced a strong topside reflection off the 410-km discontinuity which was recorded on a multitude of seismic arrays throughout the southwestern United States. Data from 394 vertical short-period and 24 broadband instruments provide dense coverage of this event from distances of 11° to 19° and provide a detailed look at the subcontinental 410-km structure. The salient features of this data set are (1) the strong dependence on wavelength of the 410-km triplication range, (2) the uniform amplitude ratio of the direct P and reflected P_(410) phases on both short-period and broadband recordings throughout the triplication, and (3) the abrupt termination of the short-period P_(410) phase at 13.3°. These features are best modeled by a composite discontinuity in which a sharp velocity jump of 3% is overlain by a linear velocity jump of 3.5% spread over 14 km. The interference of energy turning in the diffuse and sharp portions of this discontinuity structure reproduces both the long- and short-period triplication range and the step-like behavior of the P_(410) short-period amplitude, which cannot be reproduced with either a simple linearly diffuse or a purely sharp discontinuity. This composite structure produces a triplication range which depends on source frequency and has an apparent depth which depends on observation frequency. Additionally, this is the structure expected from mineralogical arguments for the α to β olivine phase transition.

Investment Opportunities and Bankruptcy PredictionEvgeny LyandresBoston University Alexei ZhdanovUniversity of Lausanne - Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF); Swiss Finance Institute 2007 Journal of Financial Markets, Forthcoming Abstract: A firm's mix of growth options and assets in place is an important determinant of its optimal default strategy. Our simple model shows that shareholders of a firm with valuable investment opportunities would be able/willing to wait longer before defaulting on their contractual debt obligations than shareholders of an otherwise identical firm without such opportunities. More importantly, we show empirically using a dataset of recent corporate bankruptcies that measures of investment opportunities are significantly related to bankruptcy. Augmenting existing bankruptcy prediction models by these measures improves their in-sample fit and out-of-sample forecasting ability.

Bata India, a part of the Bata Shoe Organisation, is on the lookout for a creative partner. The pitch process, which is at a very initial stage, is currently being held in the National Capital Region (NCR).
Senior sources from the industry close to the development confirmed the news to afaqs!, on ground of anonymity. Officials at Bata India remained unavailable for comment at the time of filing this report.Earlier, Promodome Communications managed the creative duties of the company. The agency also handles the media planning and buying duties for the footwear and accessories brand. Promodome won the business following a multi-agency pitch in 2009. At that time, the size of the account was estimated at Rs 10 crore.
Before this, the creative duties for Bata India were handled by Saatchi & Saatchi, while ZenithOptimedia managed the media planning and buying.
Prior to Saatchi, Draftfcb Ulka (then FCB) has also handled the account. JWT and Euro RSCG have also been associated with the brand in the past.
For the record, in 1932, the company was established as Bata Shoe Company in Konnagar (near Kolkata). In 1973, the company went public and changed its name to Bata India.

Jayhawks try to remain focused on this opener, not the past
September day in Lawrence. New coach brings in a fresh attitude. The optimism bubbling over as a team from the Dakotas enters Memorial Stadium for the season opener.
This, of course, will be the scene today when Kansas opens the Charlie Weis era against South Dakota State. But if this all feels eerily familiar, it's because, well, it all happened two years ago.
You remember that day, right? The Jayhawks and new coach Turner Gill went through an agonizing football initiation in a 6-3 loss to North Dakota State. Unfortunately, it was a tremendous display of foreshadowing. But for Weis, it's been an easy motivational tool as he prepares to coach his KU opener.
"It's definitely been brought up," senior defensive Toben Opurum said.
"I think they're well aware of that," Weis said. "I'm always jabbing them about a whole bunch of things."
If Gill provided the perfect template on how not to introduce yourself to a fan base, Weis has his own personal ideas about how he'd like to start things off.
This is a beaten-down program. A victory would be nice. A statement performance would be better.
"It's been a little while here since we came, and in the first game of the year, we had a very convincing performance," Weis said. "And that's what my intent is in the opening game."
In this case, "a little while" is really only 2009, when KU opened with a 49-3 thumping of Northern Colorado, a Championship Subdivision team. But perhaps that speaks to how long the last two years have felt in Lawrence.
Weis has said that he often jokes with basketball coach Bill Self that the fans still love him because he hasn't coached a game yet. Well, the honeymoon phase ends today.
Weis has voiced his desire to get off to a fast start — "We'd better…," he said, "or we're going to have a long year" — and the sight of a team from up north should also serve as a proper reminder: Even in Game 1 against an overmatched team, you can't take anything for granted.
"I don't think we're worried about being overconfident," Weis said. "We just lost a hundred in a row. … I think we're just trying to win one."

Taxing Capital Income in Emerging Countries: Will FATCA Open the Door?Itai GrinbergGeorgetown University Law Center July 21, 2013 World Tax Journal, Vol. 5, pp. 325-367, 2013 Georgetown Public Law Research Paper No. 13-031 Abstract: For many emerging and developing economies, it is exceedingly difficult to constrain residents from evading tax liability on income from capital, whether earned domestically or abroad. Meanwhile, an international regime for combatting offshore tax evasion is emerging, and the form of the new regime will be established during a narrow window of opportunity over the next few years. If a uniform, multilateral automatic information exchange system is established, it would improve emerging countries' ability to tax the offshore accounts of their residents and, perhaps more importantly, their capacity to collect information about and tax domestic-source income from capital. However, a fragmented automatic information exchange regime likely would not benefit countries outside the developed economies. Interestingly, the concerns of emerging and developing economies regarding the contours of the new international regime substantially align with the concerns of multinational financial institutions. As a result, these emerging countries may find that multinational financial institutions can be improbable allies in the battle over taxing offshore accounts. With international financial law as the model, and the G-20 as an agenda setter, a governance structure for a uniform automatic information exchange regime that could be useful to emerging countries' tax administrations could materialize. The paper explores the requisite governance structure and concludes by describing steps emerging countries may take in bilateral and multilateral settings to help create that structure. Note: An earlier version of this working paper was entitled 'Emerging Countries and the Taxation of Offshore Accounts' and another was entitled 'Will FATCA Open the Door to Taxing Capital Income in Emerging Countries?'.

But theres one problem, my 3ds is not working at all right now and what i'm trying to say is can you transfer everything from the 2gb card to the 4gb sd card without doing the system transfer?
I had one Question concerning about the system transfer, can we easily transfer all the data from the 2gb sd card on the computer and copy everything to the 4gb sd card using only an sd card reader or a PC that has an sd card slot?
